| babesia behnkei sp. nov., a novel babesia species infecting isolated populations of wagner's gerbil, dipodillus dasyurus, from the sinai mountains, egypt. | although a number of new species of babesia/theileria have been described recently, there are still relatively few reports of species from africa. in this study based on the evaluation of morphology and phylogenetic relationships, we describe a novel species from wagner's gerbil, babesia behnkei n. sp. | 2014 | 25487227 |
| genetic and phylogenetic analysis of the ticks from the sinai massif, egypt, and their possible role in the transmission of babesia behnkei. | following the description of babesia behnkei in the region of st. katherine, sinai, the present study was undertaken to determine the role of local tick species as vectors of piroplasms. first we assessed the local fauna of ticks, especially species occurring on rodents, camels and encountered in the environment, and then we compared genotypes of ticks from isolated wadis. finally, we assessed the role of local tick species as potential vectors of babesia spp. during our expedition to the sinai ... | 2017 | 28849399 |
